...Microsystems, which ranks its 43,000 employees in three groups (20% are "superior"; 70% are "Sun Standard"; 10% are "underperforming"), the company alerts weak links to their tenuous status and provides one-on-one coaching to help redeem their performance.

Children get $1 in fake money for coming and $2 for bringing a friend. Every few months, they can redeem the "money" for--guess what?--more candy...

It’s long, unremitting and opaque, and even the cool cartoon album cover artwork by David Barnes, (presumably brother of Kevin, the brains behind the band) which extends to an entire booklet and foldout poster, cannot redeem it (even the musical interpretation of the poster...
